Oracle10g中有一个新增得功能Flashback Database,当你启动它以后,它会定期将已发生变化的块写入到闪回日志的日志文件中。请注意这些日志不是由传统的Log Writer (LGWR) 过程写入,而是由一种称作Recovery Writer的新过程来写入。
$ ps -ef|grep rvwr|grep -v grep
oracle 27231 1 0 17:10:30 ? 0:00 ora_rvwr_eygle
注释:与常规的重做日志有所不同,回闪日志既不需要DBA创建,也不需要DBA来维护;它们由Oracle Managed Files(OMF)自动在闪回恢复区域所指定的目录中创建。请注意这些文件不会归档,所以,如果在该目录发生介质故障后就不可能再进行恢复了。
(1)首先启用闪回数据库特性

(2)闪回日志
注释:Oracle会在闪回区来记录日志。
